MU Law Analysis (all references are to Table A unless noted)
All Other: TheEB-1 category moved one month.  We expectcontinued steady movement in this category for All Other.  We do not see any retrogression in the futurefor EB2 or EB3, other than the usual retrogression at the end of the FiscalYear.
China: China EB-2moved six weeks, moving about one year in 2019’s calendar months.  EB-3 moved ahead half as fast – about threeweeks — which reflects continued demand in EB-3, likely related to the manyEB-3 “downgrades”.
India: There was verylittle movement in any of the Indian categories.  EB-1 will almost surely not move in FY2019.  We are slightly more optimisticabout India EB-3, which should continue to progress faster than EB-2.
Philippines: TheEB-3 date showed great progress, improving three more months.  Thiscontinues a great year for EB3.  Weexpect continued accelerated progress in June’s Visa Bulletin.
